So incredibly happy for his family. I’m thinking he ran out of money and/or realized being a runaway in cold weather who can’t rent a car or a hotel room or get a job wasn’t as much fun as he imagined. He’ll have one heck of a college essay a few years from now...

Rewatched Dad’s video to Thomas and noted the comment about if there was something Thomas felt like he couldn’t tell him...sexual orientation or gender identity? Hopefully the family is reaching out to Shelters for Runaway LGBT youth..there is one here in my city.

Dad doesn’t want him to feel like he is a fugitive. This is hard to watch. There’s a huge difference between a 22 year old (young man in “Into the Wild”) and a young looking 15 year old, especially one who has presumably led a comfortable upper middle class life. I just have so many questions.

But if it is the library couldn’t the family get word out to some national librarian network to be on the lookout for him?

But wouldn’t librarians wonder about a 15 year old boy hanging around the library during the school day? As in, why isn’t he in school?

If he wanted to have a big adventure and see the world, staying in homeless shelters doesn’t sound like something a young man from an affluent family would want to do. I’m hoping he’s on a cross country bus or someplace warm and safe. Heading south wouldn’t help right now as we’ve had temps in...

Honestly, I think the PR consultant is simply to manage something (media requests) so they can take that off their plate and focus on the search. Just like they can afford to hire an SAT tutor or one of many other service providers. On the tv interview linked to above, the Dad had huge dark...

Anyone else read this story and thought of the young man who disappeared and was later found dead in the Alaska wilderness as chronicled in “Into the Wild”? My now 16 year old son and I read it together when he was 13 or 14 (because I think it is extremely disturbing and didn’t want him to read...

While not in the OC, I live in a similar upper middle class area and neither of my teens nor their friends carry a knife, to my knowledge. Why not? Well, they'd be in a lot of trouble if they took a knife to school. My son owns a Swiss Army knife from his earlier Boy Scouts years, but it...

Agreed. My HS son’s close friend has changed his appearance a lot in the last year, growing his hair out, wearing goth clothes, listening to death metal, getting a pet snake, and I think experimenting with alcohol and marijuana. Fundamentally I think he is still the same good kid. His...

I went to this reporter’s FB page and scrolled down to the link with the article and it says that strangulation was result of Bernstein spurning sex with this SOB.

Woodward and Bernstein. Super weird, huh? (Realized that last night when Google searches elicited Watergate stories.)

So sad all around.

Exactly.

Following up on my own post, it just occurred to me that something may well have happened in the Hobby Lobby parking lot causing Blaze to fear for his life and thus causing Blaze to make up the “hey we need to meet another HS friend in the park” story. Maybe Blaze did in fact run off (and send...
